Gregory Rodrigues comeback victory over Chidi Njokuani came at a cost, but according to “Robocop,” it was totally worth it.
On Saturday at UFC Vegas 60, Rodrigues authored a stunning comeback victory, rallying from a gruesome cut on the bridge of his nose to finish Njokuani with ground-and-pound in the second round. The cut was so bad that Aljamain Sterling described it as looking like Rodrigues’ face was “falling off,” and Rodrigues agrees that it was a bad cut.
“I [have] three eyebrows,” Rodrigues joked at his post-fight press conference.

Gregory "Robocop" Rodrigues nasty cut
The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

Around 4 minutes and 12 seconds. The cut man did a great job between the 1st and second rounds. the Dr let him continue the fight after the 1st round but told the ref to keep him on a short leash.

Crazy they would let a fight continue, the closer to the skull the closer to the blood brain barrier. The smallest of bacterial matter could mean bad bad news.
